The notion of not storing anything on the hard drive freaks me out a little. Though i'm guessing my excess of music, movies and games on my hard drive is what causes my computer to drag and run slow. I would have to get used to the idea of just using a USB thumb drive for storage.

And, i don't. Ironically broadband is cheaper than what i'm paying with bandwidth overage charges. So i'm sure i'd upgrade to broadband anyway, even without a Chromebook.
